Ministry - Al Jourgensen 2018 Predictions: Geopolitical Upheaval, Stress

For 2018, Jourgensen forecasts giant political upheaval and geopolitical stress which has been set up in 2017 by the "orange shitgibbon" himself. According to Jourgensen, 2016 and 2017 were similar to having a pus-filled boil or pimple on the country.

"We have to get 2017 and 2016 off of us," he states, "and 2018 is going to be the popping of the pimple. It's going to be a rough year, but it's going to be a necessary year for the progression of the human race.

The majority should rule the democracy and right now, the majority does not rule."
